Homesteading in Trego County

Bosna

The heydays of the Bosna district were from the 1880s to the early 1920s. After the post office was established in May of 1880, Frank W. Zeman served as Bosna’s first postmaster. The post office closed in August of 1921.

Settlers around Bosna often met at the schoolhouse and one of the community’s social activities was “box suppers.” Today, only a few farmhouses stand as reminders of the Bosna community.

The ethnicity of its settlers remains unknown.
